[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DesignGrits:
So I know the Market section is closed for sales and trades, no idea why. I am assuming it was due to some legitimate issues. But my question is will the Market section ever come back? I would assume that if it wasn't, the mod would have removed it all together, but its still there. Been trying to find a place to trade with people but not having much luck. Is there any place that people trade android devices?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Da Kine:
It was closed because users were abusing it. Basically people scamming others and people were not taking the proper precautions to protect themselves when making a deal with another member.

Celltraderonline is a good website to check, quite a few of the well known xda member in the market place are over there.

Or if you rather buy a phone, swappa is a good site to check as well.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DesignGrits:
I kind of assumed as much was going on in the Market Section. Its pretty sad. Thank you for the suggestions. :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Da Kine:
Yeah its sad that there's low life's on here that scam people, ruining the MP for other members. Hopefully the people who were scammed, learned a lesson and take the proper precautions when dealing with anyone, whether online or in person.

You're welcome! :)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DesignGrits:
Yeah, I have only done one trade on here and it was great. It was a great feeling knowing that options like this are here for people that don't have alot of extra money to pay full retail value for devices. All well, hopefully in the future.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jezzabart:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3-I9300T with the stock ROM. I have rooted it using Odin and CF-Auto-Root-m0-m0du-gti9300t.tar.md5. I rooted it only so that I could use Titanium PRO and Avast Anti-theft. I have not flashed any new ROM.

Dialling *#1234# gives me:

AP : I9300TDUDLK1

CP : I9300TDUDLJ2

CSC : I9300TTHLDLJ1

In Triangle Away I have run Reset flash counter and System modified workround. Before attempting to upgrade the firmware, I unchecked System modified workround but did not reboot.

The information displayed in Download Mode is:

Odin Mode

Product Name: GT-I9300

Custom Binary Download: No

Current Binary: Samsung Official

System Status: Official

The Device Status in Settings is: Normal.

I receive the following message when I connect to Kies:

When I try to upgrade, I get as far as seeing the message

in the upgrade progress window. This window then closes, leaving the main Kies window greyed out. The upgrade requests System Administrator privileges which I grant and then nothing else happens either on the PC or on the phone. Kies remains greyed out and not responding.

I also tried OTA upgrading via the software update function in Settings, but I receive the message:

I have searched for a solution, but I can’t find anything further to what I have already done. Please can anyone suggest what I am doing wrong?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dibyajyoti:
You can't update via Kies once your rooted. Just download the stock rom and flash via Odin from Sammobile or preferably a deodexed one from Wanam's thread.

Deodexed roms from Wanam are pre rooted :) Just choose the rom you version you want and download. Updated to the latest
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ag4751:
Yes you can use kies to update a rooted phone, as long as you have fully stock rom kies will identify the phone and allow the upgrade, it won;t work if you have a custom rom, if you have any custom rom, kernel etc you can't use kies to update otherwise it will work fine.

Try right clicking on kies and click Run as Administrator, once kies is running click on Help on the menu bar and check for updates to make sure you have the latest version if there is an update then update first, if not then connect the phone, wait for the message saying there is an update available for your firmware and start the process.

Hi,

I just realized that the learning hub not working on a rooted device, Is there any possibility to make it work on the rooted device? Thank you.

I've searched online for a speaker dock for the note 10.1 but can't find any.

Does such accessory exist?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] l33t p1mp:
Not the best solution, but you could just use a regular dock to hold the tablet up and get a cheap-ish Logitech sound system. I can guarantee you it'll sound a thousand times better than any speaker dock, too. Look in the the Logitech Z-323 or something similar. Great sound for a great price.

But a tip...

Maybe gregbradley can add to all in one if not already there!

TO shut off the phone at any point hold power/volumedown/camera button all at the smae time should feel 3 small vibrates!

:p
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
You only need to press the power and volume up button.

Press and hold together for 10-15 seconds. Feel it vibrate once, thats a reboot. If you contimue to hold you will feel 3 vibrations, thats a shutdown (Like to pulling the battery)

It has been mentioned already in lots of threads and is actually mentioned in the quick instructions that comes with the phone, but thanks for sharing.

Don't think it's spyware. Verizon has had something like this added to most of their recent phones. They're probably gearing up for something allowing reps to tap into your phone like remote assistance for windows and help fix problems

Hi.

I am Using Sony Wt19i flashed with CynogenMod 9.

I want to know if it is possible to minimize the app using the walkman key on my phone as in the Stock ROM.

Thank You.

Your radios seem fine to me.

I dont understand what you mean here. Nothing happens as in the network signals dont come back or does the RUU not run?

Try calling your carrier and have them provision your data.
[HTC EVO 3D] juanguijaragris:
Yes I did, I installed those 2 RUU and the signal stay the same. Nothing happend. I cant call to my movil service because i got the phone in other country

Thanks for the suggestions!!

Do you guys think that I have to downgrade my Hboot to 1.49.007 or It will be good in 1.53.007?

I was with my Hboot 1.49.008 and still the same, after I installed the RUU for ICS the Hboot changed... to 1.53.007.

I tried everything.. I dont know what else to do.

Thanks Again!

[HTC EVO 3D] Shponglized:
So do you get no service at all? 3g or calls/texts?

Your antenna may have come unhooked, Take the back off your phone and at the bottom below the battery hatch (Not beneath, but below.)

Theres 2 screws and that little bottom piece pops off,

The antenna cable runs down the left side and hooks up at the bottom left corner

You can see through the plastic a little bit right there so give that a look.
[HTC EVO 3D] Jsparta26:
Nice! Never would have thought of that.

I've taken my phone apart 40+ times at this rate Before dropping it to it's death last night of course. lol, I'm so familiar with the inside of this phone it repulses me to have a non functional device, I can't even get a number from my phone to call a ride to the sprint store :crying:

---------- Post added at 11:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:26 AM ----------

If you wanna go a little further, Take out the other 4 screws and pop the back off, You'll be able to access the antenna cable from here Without removing the motherboards or any flex cables, If you have a guitar pick they work pretty awesome as a safe open pry tool.
[HTC EVO 3D] juanguijaragris:
I dont have anything...not signal... just works the bluetooth and wifi. I will take a look of the antenna..

Im just need a T04 for the screws. I will get it today.. And I will tell you whats going on...

I forgot to say that my phones suddenly works for maybe 3 o 4 hours and then goes off

Thanks for the time!

[Xperia Z General] androidindian:
I am not bashing or being a fan boy etc. to anyone.. being a tech lover and loving the xda community, this thread is about being open minded and discussing past experiences and taking decisions accordingly, not burning our hands again..​

Friends,

The idea of this thread is to outline significant practical reasons on why to move ahead with Sony Xperia Z rather than samsung devices..for a lot of the viewers who are waiting etc.

I have been seeing a lot of view points on why we should go for sony and not samsung anymore.. but personally.. I have used all samsung galaxy flagships over the years, and I keep getting dissapointed.. and this time I finally had a realization that its time to move to better companies who really are serious about what they are creating and who listen to their customers and the community. So I have outlined a few quotes and reasons from elite recognised devs to users with their experiences below. If you have any pointers you would like me to add, please feel free.

If you love development and love open source, sony is the way to go, (also the chipset being similar to the nexus 4 ) not just amazing hardware but their developer relations team is amazing! they would be extending support to developer and community here at xda. Unlike samsung which uses cheap materials and does not have a real aesthetic taste with industrial design, their software department is really in a mess. They never releases driver binaries. Most of their code is outdated and has bugs. and lately each device software or upgrade comes with brickable bugs and security issues.

Those who are looking for hardware.. technology will keep becoming more compact and billion times powerful every month now, its exponential growth, so if we keep waiting for the next and the next, we will also be stuck in a loop of waiting. By the time s4 is announce, sony or htc would announce an even better phone.. so we would love to wait for that.. it is endless.

So the idea is to go for a device you instantly love, and not wait.. and go for a device where the OEM gives fantastic developer support!
[Xperia Z General] cloud9x:
how does one make a topic like this when the s4 isn't even out

i don't understand it

like is the fanboyism and anti-fanboyism within android communities this bad? that we can't even talk about one new phone coming out without talking about another one that you have no idea about whatsoever?

like really. the topic is called 'top reasons to get the xperia z instead of s4'

the s4 doesn't exist yet, is a starter. you don't know anything about it, is another. you have not even the slightest semblance as to what it could be like is yet another. the rest of the list kind of goes on in the same fashion.

why not wait for the s4 to be announced before making a trollbait thread like this?
[Xperia Z General] -A-P-M-:
Re: Top "Reasons" to get the Xperia Z instead of s4

Because Samsung didnt provide needed sources, same story was on SGS2 and is now on SGS3. Samsung promised them with deadline end of 2012, but as far as I know, sources wasnt released. Because of that, CM development on SGS3 has almost stopped and question is if SGS4 will get CM support. On other side, according to devs Sony support dev community, provide sources, so they can build more stable roms in much shorter time. That is a reason why I will try Xperia Z - hardware is good enough, looks very premium and I expect much better development on it.
[Xperia Z General] xuskey:
AW: Top "Reasons" to get the Xperia Z instead of s4

I kind of agree with you but I also agree with androidindian... I am now about 2 and a half years with Android and had 2 Samsung phones... They just are bad: non quality materials, bad support for developers and they take too long to update and when they do its mostly bad aswell... I agree that we can't talk bad or good about a phone that isn't even out yet but I can imagine that Samsung will not do a better job it did before^^
[Xperia Z General] androidindian:
Absolutely mate. its not about being a fan boy or not liking a company or something. I use apple, windows and android products.. and i love all of them..

I love technology and I love android and its open source environment.

The idea is so educate and make others aware of my or our experiences with samsung.. and I don't want others to go through the same experiences and pain which we have gone through.

Samsung is really bad with its development friendliness.. they are highly closed sourced and even if they release any sources, are very "buggy". They don't care about the development community .. all they care is selling as much as possible..

a lot of the users here might not know the issues samsung has towards development.. they don't care about anything.. just releasing phones in quantity and not focusing on quality.

The idea is to just let others know about the cores, and development status of samsung, after all people spend money and get dissapointed instantly.

The reason im definitely going for sony is, that CM and aokp upbringing is so quick and sony developer relation team is very friendly and supportive.. http://developer.sonymobile.com/

dont we love having the latest and greatest of android?

its always an issue with samsung in that case.
[Xperia Z General] cloud9x:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1778270 - the 10k reply CM10-10.1 thread on d2att forums.

The I9300 might have stopped development (having been an Exynos phone) but CM development is very well and happy with the i747. Developer support all comes down to yes, the ease of development but also how popular the phone itself is.
[Xperia Z General] androidindian:
everything is opensource gralloc, hwcomposer etc.. it doesnt even have working butter and some things are not working well too

its the genius of devs like entropy and codeworkx which made that happen but they are tired and unhappy of samsung not supporting them..
[Xperia Z General] androidindian:
Totally!
[Xperia Z General] dreamerAxe:
Please elaborate

Could you please elaborate on your past experiences with Sony mobile ? I have not owned a Sony mobile so I cant say anything. I am as much interested in this product as the next guy and I would not want to drop my hard-earned cash on something which is gonna conk in 1 year. Although, I own a Sony LED TV, PS3, PS2 among others and they have been pretty much solid.

[Xperia Z General] Brac20:
I have a question for those who have had Sony devices in the past.

I have heard it is nice and easy to unlock the bootloader on Sony phones.

Now is this the HTC style of unlock where some things are unlocked but others are not?

Also is it easy to do on a branded phone? If I get this phone it will likely be Three branded.

Thanks
[Xperia Z General] Entropy512:
Your example was a Qualcomm-based device. The reason d2att is in good shape has NOTHING to do with Samsung and EVERYTHING to do with Qualcomm. Now that Qualcomm is selling baseband chips that don't require a Qualcomm host CPU, you're far less likely to ever see a Qualcomm-based Samsung flagship again.

If your device is SIM-locked, it will almost surely NOT have an unlockable bootloader.

If it is branded but not SIMlocked it might have an unlockable bootloader.
[Xperia Z General] Mockingbird:
I own an X8 which its still in good shape even after some serious drops. My father`s samsung galaxy s plus never dropped it on solid stuff ,only on carpet and that shiny cover around the phone scratches and sounds like s**t . Both phones bought new with warranty so no second hand :)
[Xperia Z General] force70:
I will more than likely buy both the Z (if its avail in Canada) and the S4 but if Sony locks the bootloader it will make me think twice. I bought an ION over Xmas to use a back up phone and have some fun with only to find out I cant unlock the bootloader..I havent even taken it out of the box yet..no point lol and I will probably just dump it for cheap.
[Xperia Z General] harise100:
Samsung officially supports their 2011 flagship devices (S2, Note) with Jelly Bean. Sony is still struggling to support even their 2012 devices with Jelly Bean let alone the older ones.

All their support for CM / FXP is not worth a dime if the kernel / drivers don't support the features of the latest Android version. i.e. Project Butter.

So unless I see a drastic change in their firmware update policy, it will be the S4.

That's sad, because I think that the Z is one of the most beautiful phones I've ever seen with great hardware inside.
[Xperia Z General] alicepattinson:
I agree with Alain, well I guess Samsung get's too overly populated since it's the world's widest company and they couldnt handle all of the costumer's feedback, updates etc but I think they're trying to cope up coz I can't wait for the S4. I think it's going to be a great catch. Sony is also good, especially it's now starting to have great features than before. Well, let's see what happens this year ;)
[Xperia Z General] androidindian:
samsung updated s2, note to jb but they have postponed the updates each month from november onwards.

plus their software quality is really full of bugs. brick bugs, security exploits etc. really bad quality

i would always prefer them taking more time and not have such serious bugs atleast, even after leaking roms beforehand..

sony might have taken time before, but their os quality is really good!

also.. their developer relations team and support for cm and xda devs is just too good!

samsung doesn't even want to listen to developers..
